A FISH SToRY.--In the southwestern cor
ner of Georgetown, S. c., in the Santee
swamp, is Dawho Lake, widely celebrated
for its great quantity of excellent fish of all
kinds. About two weeks ago terrific hail
storm of several hours duration passed over
the place, beating the limbs and leaves of
trees into the lake in great quantities and
damaging the crops in the vicinity very
much. A few days after the storm the fish
in the lake began to appear upon the sur.
face Of the water by thousands. the number
increasing daily, until now the whole sur.
face of the water is covered with them. The
water of the lake has always been of whit.
ish color, but now it is as black as ink and
quite bitter. 1t is said the fish, on first rs,
ing, approached the shore, struggling as If
TO get on land. Allgators cooters and
snakes were seen leaving the lake in great
numbers. Dawho lake is about one and a.
half miles long, from ten to thirty feet deep
and from one to two hundred yards wide.
The stencil arising from SO large mass of
dead fish is terrible. The buzzards are
having carnival. Upon the approach of
any one they rise to fly, making noise
similar to the roar of the late August earth
quake. Adjacent lakes are not affected.

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and ita usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS Gifts existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events and the careful chroni-
cling of the history ofwhat is going OF in the
world has ever been It's aim. IL is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has oecomo
invaluable
The GAZETTE has better facilities for Oh
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of nsws, il enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day 10
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habitable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers
Another feature that serves 30 make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mrr
chants is its afternoon market reports fron.
New York, Baltimore, Chicago ami other
centres.
The local department furnishes a fnll and
complete history of everything that occurs
and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of the State, is pub
lished regularly and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are to he found in the columns
of the GAZETTE
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchas
ing. That this is selfevident may be infer
red from the fact that large country edi-
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section OF country three times
a week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send he1e or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of adj
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.

The object expected to be accomplished
by the committee is the preparation Of
a law to be submitted and pressed upon
the attention of the next Legislature tor
a radical change in the assessment and
taxation of PROF erty in the state, asysJem
that will relieve the agricultural interests
of the state from the present unjust and
unequal taxation imposed upon them.
A member of the committee states that
a law is now in course of preparation

of mortgages, but of all kinds Of property,
and a plan by which the only improve
ments on agricultural lands that are taxed
will be the improvements that add to the
agricultural value of lana. The law also
proposes system of annual listing, by
which every person in the state shall an
nually list or report himself and propert,
for taxation.
The necessity for some relief from the
present system Of unequal taxation is
severely felt, and, from the reputation Of
the gentlemen composing the committee
for Intelligence, business experience and
knowledge of the condition of farming
interests of the state, there is every reason
to expect that the relief will be obtained.
